May I present the gluten-free cream puff!
Isn’t she a beauty? I could have made a fancy vanilla pudding filling and drizzled dark chocolate ganache on this cream puff but guess what?
A cream puff only needs one thing. A whipped cream for the inside.
For me all a cream puff needs is simple thick, slightly sweetened whipped cream.
Do you agree?
This year I think I will make gluten-free cream puffs for Christmas morning. Coffee, tea, cream puffs and fresh fruit. Wouldn’t that be a nice breakfast while opening up the Christmas presents?
